Good evening, all.
By way of background... I have about 30 years' software development
experience but no useful background in database systems, and could barely
spell MySQL four days ago. I am attempting to install horde and turba to
use as a contacts manager for my consulting partnership.
So far, mostly thanks to the expert help of Jason Clifton and Ben Chavet
over on the horde mailing list, I think I have horde installed more or less
correctly and am now working on turba.
In the INSTALL doc for the turba 2.1.2 distribution, and on
http://horde.org/turba/docs/?f=INSTALL.html, item #2 under "Configuring
Turba" says:
"2. Creating databases ... look in scripts/drivers/ to see if a script
already exists for your database type (SQL or LDAP). If so, you should be
able to simply execute that script as superuser in your database."
I was not able to find a scripts/drivers directory, but there is a
scripts/sql directory that contains the file "turba_objects.mysql.sql". I
executed that script with:
mysql -u root -ppassword < turba_objects.mysql.sql
... and it complained about no database specified. So, I said...
mysql -u root -ppassword --database=horde < turba_objects.mysql.sql
...and it ran to completion without any complaint.
After completion, I saw that it created a new turba_objects table in the
horde database. It didn't create a new database of its own as the INSTALL
script seemed to indicate it should ("The specific steps to create Turba
databases...").
Did I do it right, or did I miss a step in creating a turba database?
Thanks...
Eric
